Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro for collaboration amongst team members as we ideate on product strategy and enhancements, and discuss operational process improvements within our organization. I also personally use Miro to organize my thoughts (brain dump) and the mind maps are awesome. I've introduced them to several other colleagues and they've been a great way for us to solve problems. I use it almost daily in some way.
  • Mind maps are freakin' awesome. I've hooked several other colleagues on them as well.
  • Quickly layout processes and easily update them as needed.
  • Collaboration is awesome as well. Allowing the team to come in and collaborate on ideas in real time has really helped connect us in a remote-first workplace.
  • The number of templates that are available is great.
  • The team boards page can get a little overwhelming once you develop a lot of content. It would be great to create folders of similar boards.
  • Can be a little pricey for small start ups.
  • The desktop app can be a little fickle from time to time.
  • The interface is a little busy. There's a lot of functionality offered in the product and a better way to make it accessible to the user, without so many initial options might improve the UI.
  • Definitely has improved productivity.
  • The templates such as mind maps has really allowed us to visually explore all of the possible solutions and select the most appropriate.
No insights really. I signed up for a trial and the product was immediately available. When I upgraded to a paid license, the boards I had created were still available. It was super simple.
I plan to look into integrations in the future.
It's allowed us to continue to collaborate as if we were all together using a whiteboard. But as I said, it's actually better than a whiteboard due to the unlimited space available.

There's been many occasions where I've taken a screenshot of our application, thrown it into Miro, and worked with our UX/UI Designer by marking up the image. Pair Miro with a stylus and it's just an incredible experience.

Miro is great for teams that want to quickly collaborate on ideas and need the flexibility to adjust them in real time. It's a virtual whiteboard. In fact, it's better than a whiteboard because you can add as much content as you want to the board without running out of space.
The templates provide a great jump start for users that aren't familiar with some processes or methodologies. (I.e., mind maps, Kanban, jam boards, customer journey maps, etc.)
With that said, I have struggled in the past when trying to have non-technical users join in on collaboration. I found that I spent a lot of time explaining to them how to do things.
